Chevy Announces 2018 Camaro ZL1 NASCAR Cup Race Car

This summer, Chevrolet revealed the 2018 Camaro ZL1 NASCAR Cup Race Car, which will debut at the Daytona Speedweeks races in February 2018, the beginning of the NASCAR season. This was the first race in which Chevy used the Camaro ZL1, previously opting for the Chevy SS.

With the retirement of the SS, Chevy moved onto the Camaro ZL1, adjusting the design to make it as speedy and efficient as possible on the racetrack. Chevy focused on making the ZL1 a great racecar without losing its iconic Camaro styling, and the brand succeeded—the stance, the lines of the hood, and the slope of the roof all recall the Camaro.

In August, Chevy invited NASCAR drivers and fans to check out the new ZL1 before it makes its debut during the next NASCAR season. One of the drivers was the mega-famous Jimmie Johnson, a Chevy driver excited to get behind the wheel of the racing Camaro ZL1 after loving it as a street-legal vehicle.

The ZL1 NASCAR Cup won’t hit the racetrack until next year, but you can still experience the production version of the Camaro ZL1. Give us a call today at El Dorado Chevy and we’ll set up a test drive.
